Museum’s Holiday Dinner focuses on family fun

November 7, 2013

Prairie Village Museum's 3nd annual Old-Fashioned Holiday Dinner, Bake Sale and Gift Basket Bidding will be held from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Nov. 22, at the Rugby Eagles Club.

Santa Claus will greet kids from 5:30 to 6:30. Attendees may purchase homemade holiday baking and bid on an array of gift baskets ready for Christmas giving. Linda Lynse will be serving up roast beef and all the trimmings.

Holiday music will be provided by The Borgen Family - Eldon Borgen, Arlene Johnson and Carol Braaten - and other local musicians.

"The holiday dinner has become the museum's biggest and most important fundraiser," executive director Cathy Jelsing said. "It's a fun way for families to show their appreciation and support for the museum. It's also a perfect time to purchase historical society memberships for 2014 and to make much needed tax deductible contributions to help the museum finish the year in the black."

Dinner tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids (6 to 12); no charge for preschoolers. Tickets may be purchased from Geographical Center Historical Society board members and at the door. All proceeds support the Geographical Center Historical Society and Prairie Village Museum.
